Abstract

Abstract ZnO production nanostructure using different method: first method, electrochemical deposition on Zn foil using 0.3 M zinc sulfate heptahydrate (ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and sulfuric acid aqueous solution at a current density of 30 and 35 mA/cm 2 for deposition time 40 min at room temperature and second method, Zn foils were thermally oxidized in a conventional tube furnace at a temperature equal range of 700–900 °C in air for 5 h or less in static air to prepared semiconductor nanomaterials ZnO nanorods, nanotetrapods and nanoplane. The XRD diffraction of higher intensity peaks at (101) and (002) miller indices for two methods can be recognized to a hexagonal wurtzite structure unit cell. Surface morphology images with different magnifications which clearly shows that the whole Zn foil and rod substrate obtained ZnO nanosheets, nanotetrapods, nanorods and growth nanoplanes were also found. The length of these nanotetrapods and nanorods lies in the equal range of 1–1.5 µm with an average diameter of 80 nm. It was well known that ZnO nano crystal exhibited two emission peaks. One was located at about 365 nm wavelength (UV luminescence band), and the other peak position at 475 nm wavelength (green luminescence band).
